White chocolate blueberry cupcakes

As I was catching up with some of my favourite blogs this week I came across a recipe that I HAD to try. It looked so delicious! White Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes at Tracey's Culinary Adventures. Raspberry and white chocolate are such a perfect pairing but unfortunately I didn't have any raspberry's or seedless raspberry jam in the house. I really didn't feel like going out to buy some so I made do with what I had on hand. Luckily I still had white chocolate chunks left over from the white chocolate dipped strawberries and had some homemade organic blueberry jam to use in place of the raspberries.

So I gathered my ingredients, preheated the oven and got to work!

Mmmm white chocolate, this was after 30 secs. It took just over a minute at half power to melt in the microwave.﻿

The sugar and butter is creamed and the eggs added

This is the final batter, after the flour mixture and milk is blended in.

While the cupcakes were cooking I blended the butter and blueberry jam

Here it is after 6 cups of icing sugar, it became such a beautiful mauve colour with specks of blueberries

After the cupcakes cooled I cut out the centre and put some of that delicious homemade blueberry jam right in the middle!

Next it was decorating time. I filled the icing tube with the blueberry jam icing and proceeded to swirl it on top of each and every cupcake. Divine! Then I proceeded to have fun taking pictures of those very same cupcakes. Enjoy.
